Its whole source of revenue depends upon the farmers ot the county endorsing its candidates for sheriff and clerk. No wonder it stoops to any tactics that will possibly bring it a vote or two.

'-: Kings VaTvLEY, Ore, Editor op thk Union: I beg to be allowed to say a few words in regard to the race for county judge. The Times, and perhaps others fol lowing its lead, tries to create the impression that the .office requires a lawyer, to attend to its duties. Those who have had much business with thjijtfficiaJjjH: are conversant wTtR a afanneTTn whicTTthe ot our nation? But notwithstanding that there is a decided majority for sound money in our . state it is vitally important that no man staj' away from the voting booth on the 6th instant. If any one stay away it will be the man tf business, who feels that there will be enough present without him. This is the weakest point in the armor of the sound money move ment. The indifference of the in telligent voter will lose the battle if it be lost, hence it becomes impera tive that he should be present and vote, and if at all possible, devote some labor in behalf of the ticket that represents sound finances, ju- dtcio is progressive government and the cordial endorsement of the ad ministration in its contest with Spain. This is a critical point. Oregon sets the pace for other state elections. Let there be no uncertainty in our position. Our people should again speak, and that positively on this matter of national finances. If every voter will do his duty by casting a ballot that rep resents his best, honest ju Igment there will be no ground for quib bling after the votes are counted Do vouf duty as a citizen Go to the polls and Vote yt'air4vn honest in the district attorney's office the enviable reputation of our district for efficient service and economical expenditure will b continued fr mother two years. - EDITOR ThS paper owned"5ythe Hoggs, a people of unsavory railroad reputation managed and edited by a renegade democrat, and a republican sheet hv "affirmation" only, assails the candidacy of Mr. Daly simply be- j cause, as its managers have openly stated on the streets of Corvallis, the existence of the Union inter feres with the business of the Ga zette, and if they can defeat Mr. "Daty the Union .will quit business. As;io the . Union, it will continue "business whether any one, or all, or none of the republican candi dates are elected It is here to stay and not alone by "affirmation." , As to the.use of money fir buy ing votes, the Union has i no knowl edge of any sucb coming into the county, but the Gzctt:3 assuming that Mr. Daly was to be endorsed by outside influences, sought, to sett to the campaign committed for a certain cons'deration, the use of its columns in support of Mr. Daly.

"l.l - tne eact amount not known,' due on account of de.inquent tax sales and redemptions.. It is the busi- fice is conducted, know the reverse is true. Jn the past it ha3 been filled mostly by lawyers and they would always, in business requiriug j the advice or services of a lawyer, tell you to employ one. They nl- j ways refuse to assume the duties of your attorney and of county judge at the same time, a rule which is obviously the correct one and directly opposite to what the Ttmes wishes to make th-J. voters believe, Other counties have .fudges who are not lawyers, who manage the affairs of the county as well as where a lawyer fills the office, and in many eases better. . 'S What the. voters should- desire, and all thinking taxpayers ;do de- sire, is a "careful, methodical, safe, business man in the office "'as Mr. Woodward is known to be and not a- chronic office Beeker like Mr Bryan,' who made ' a failure: in the only office to which he has been elected. - It in notorious that: he has no business ideas or methods req uisite for managing the affairs of the county. A man "who can't, manage his own affairs successfully cannot be trusted to" do better with public matters. Moreover, Mr. Woodward is a taxpayer .and our interests in the county are also his, while his opponent pays no tax and has no more interest -m the conviction of what is best for our nation, state and county's interest. W. H. LEEDS. W. H. Leeds,; candidate for state printer on the republican ticket, is the present incumbent of this office. Mr. Leeds . isVa printer of the old school and hik had many years ex perience in tfie work. He has shown himself to be a careful, cour teous, accommodating and efficient officer.

' jy A correspondent in the Coquille Herald (popnlfst) ha? the following to say concerning a prominent can didate in this district; "A. C. Woodcock, the nominee for circuit judge on the republican ticket, it will be remembered served four years as a member of ihe"state board of equalization from this district. As a member of that board heLwas instrumental in making the large property owners of Multnomah county pay their just proportion of the state taxes. Is will be remem bered bow he maintained this action of the board under the fire of the Oregonian, He was also instrumental in having the board raise the assessment ou mortgages in Multnomah county to rtneir real value ana to the same value placed on them by the other counties. He was the prime mover in securing a. raise. of 25 per cent on the assessment of railroad roll ing stock in this state. In selecting i man for circuit judge," it is the general belief that qualification should be above politics, and that a judge should be in a position to be entirely independent and un biased."

That the office haanjsconomically and efficiently adijiinistered is amply proven by . Uiu official records for the period. rPersonally, Mr. Leeds is a most acooirable man; popular wherever kniwn and a man in all respects that will reflect credit on the state wh lejn a official position in Salem as wll as while engaged vate field ot work, these two c- unties may rest assured that, when they cast a vote )rMr. Leeds, they are protesting ' t ie I state against : any scandels in t le office of state printer apd that tht printing will be done as economics Ily as the efficiency of the office wijl permit.

And from our' experience with experts in the past this means an expense of $800 to 11000 to our taxpayers. Would it not be well to devote a little thought to the matter of abil ity on the part of candidates for the office work that will fall to them when elected. We pay enough for this work. Let us have it done by meo wtjo understand how to keep as a taxpayer and a desire to sta the affairs of the county fairly 1 economically administered. There fore I appeal to tne common sense and good judjment of the voters, and the taxpayers especially, to consider well the interests of the county on June 6th, in not only this but all other offices to be voted for, and I feel sure if they do so Mr. Woodward will, be elected by a handsome majority. Taxpayer The first duty of a . civilized man is to perform those functions which lie at the foundation of citizenship. Among these is the exercise of the right of suffrage, perhaps the most important, and no good citizen should neglect to perform this duty.
